We are three burners, two virgins and one veteran, with an ambitiousbut rewarding theme camp for this year's burn.

Our theme camp is a hexayurt city that holds within itself a story. Astory that other burners will enter, be engaged in, and interact with,but not a story to follow: a story to make. The branches of this storywill split and unfold through the yurts, shared through key objects,visuals, music, poetry, and conversation.

The story of the adventure of the city is yet to be told and dependsheavily on the number of participants in the camp. The moreparticipants, the more yurts, the more branches in the city, the morecomplex of a story we can develop, and the wider the range ofexperiences we can provide to those that visit our camp.

A hexayurt shelter keeps out the sweltering heat and dust of the day and the bone-chilling cold of the night, so that the energy otherwise needed to sweat and de-dust and shiver can be put towards more interesting ends!

Having built such comfortable shelters, wouldn't it be best to openthem up to the rest of the participants?

Whoa now! Just because the deadlines for official reregistration are looming overhead like bellowing darkness with a glimmer of the Eye of Sauron in the background. Doesn't mean you can't build it. Lot's of fully functioning theme camps have successfully defeated the hordes to secure land to build upon, while saying "damn" to the system.Do it anyway.

Just make sure one of the options is for people to die of dysentery. That's all I ask.

Savannah: I don't know what it is, but no thread here escapes alive. You'll get 1 or 2 real answers at minimum, occasionally 10 or 12, and then we flog it until it's unrecognizable and you can't get your deposit back.
